How to adjust your wedding dress to your size?

 

Of has found your wedding dress, congratulations! And now something is bothering you, the dress is way too big for you, and you are swimming in it. Don't panic unless your dress is made to measure; you will probably have a few minor adjustments to make. We explain the procedure to follow right here.

Some alterations to adjust your dress 

When you find your dress at the Dressing Club, we always inform you that the dresses often require a bit of touch-up for them to adapt perfectly to your figure.

The vast majority of our wedding dresses in the showroom are showroom and fitting models and have therefore never been adjusted. Very often, we then have to do basic alterations on your dress, namely:

·         Small point to tighten at the shoulders

·         Tighten at the sides to adjust the size

·         Cut the hem according to your height on the day.

These are the touch-ups that we do most often, but sometimes there is almost nothing to repeat. It is essential to stretch the fabric well for an excellent result. You may also want to cut sleeves or hollow out a neckline, and in this case, you will have to alter the original model.

Depending on the model you choose, there will be more or less work on your dress, but the main thing is that you feel comfortable and maintained in your outfit!

When the dress is too big, it can adjust to your body. We can take up to two sizes above yours. On the other hand, when the dress is too small, there is often nothing to do because the seam allowance and the fabric are insufficient to retouch. We can sometimes find little tips but.              

 Prefer to find a model that is too big rather than too far.

Make alterations at the Dressing Club.

At the Dressing Club, we offer an alteration service of between € 180 and € 300, which is added to the price of the dress. The flat rate for basic touch-ups is € 200. We usually do it between 3-4 months before the wedding to have time to do the touch-ups. And we welcome you from Tuesday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

On the day of your fitting, we advise you on the alterations we can do by helping you project yourself once these are finished.

What to plan for your touch-up appointment?

To prepare well for your touch-up appointment, here are some tips that will come in handy.

First, I advise you to provide the appropriate lingerie in order to test the opacity of the dress, the neckline, the open back, etc. You can opt, for the top, for a Back to Glam, adhesive cups, nipple covers or nothing if you are comfortable.

For the bottom, you can opt for a nude thong, seamless or a sheath to avoid showing the folds of classic underwear.

Do some tests and see what works best for you and what will be most comfortable for the whole day.

Then, if you need to adjust the bottom of the dress by cutting a hem, you MUST have D-Day shoes. Indeed, your retoucher will cut the hem exactly according to your height so that you do not step on your dress and so that it is not too short.

On our side, we recommend cutting at 0.5cm from the ground so that we only see the tip of your shoes when you walk.
